Chapter 32. Case 6: Be prepared night and night
I asked Ms. Du, do you mean that your daughter stays at home well? She said yes. Then she went on to tell me that she didn't pay attention to this matter, this was originally a relatively old community, so there were also a lot of children in the building, she said, you also know, children, most of them like to shout lights to play.
What really caught her attention, Ms. Du said, was one day when she was sitting on the sofa and knitting yarn while watching TV, her daughter was running back and forth by herself. She suddenly saw her daughter running to the security door, lying on the door with her hands on her face, as if she was listening to something. Then the daughter let out that kind of "Ah! Screams. At that time, she thought that her daughter was shouting and playing with the voice-controlled light through the door, so she smiled and thought her daughter was so cute. However, the security door of their house has a cat's eye, but there is no lid on the cat's eye, which means that if the vision is better, you can see the outside light directly from the house through the cat's eye. Just after her daughter shouted, the lights outside were not on, probably because of the soundproofing of the security door, and her daughter was still young and her voice was not loud, but she soon noticed that the rhythm of the lights outside was different from the rhythm of her daughter's shouting. So she was curious to go to the cat's eye and look out, just as the lights went out. The daughter called again, but the light was still not on, and just when Ms. Du was wondering if she was thinking too much, she suddenly heard a voice from outside the door, "Ah! It was exactly the same as her daughter's voice, and the lights were on at the same time.
Ms. Du frowned, and said with some anxiety, not only that, she could see from the cat's eye, and below the line of sight, she saw the top of a child's head.
I asked Ms. Du, on the top of her head? What does that mean? She told me that it was just a small child, and the cat's eye could not see his height, but only the top of his head. She went on to say that from the position and perspective, the child was standing outside the security door of my house, shouting at my daughter through the door. Ms. Du said that she was a little hairy at that time, because although there were other children in this building, there was only a small child like her daughter on this floor, and it was already more than 9 o'clock in the evening. So Ms. Du pulled her daughter aside, and she opened the door to see if it was someone else's child, but after opening the door, there was no one outside.
Ms. Du said that the voice-activated light had time, and she stuck out her head to look for a while, but when she didn't find it, the light went out. So she coughed and shouted the light back on, and just after shouting, she saw a child at the end of the corridor, under the box of the fire hydrant, with his back to Ms. Du, standing at the corner of the corridor wall. Ms. Du said that she screamed in fright, then immediately closed the door, hugged her daughter and hid in her room. She told me that she couldn't sleep at all that night, and that her daughter had her own room, but that night they slept together, and she thought about it a lot, and the more she thought about it, the more unsure she was of any illusion or if it was all real.
I asked Ms. Du, you said you slept with your daughter, but what about your daughter's father? I know I probably shouldn't have asked such a question, but if it was just the mother and daughter, it was true that they were more likely to be attacked by ghosts than if there were men in the house. Ms. Du was a little embarrassed and said that she divorced last year, and because she was a foreigner, she moved out of her ex-husband's house with her daughter, and the mother and daughter lived together. I asked her again, is this house your own? Ms. Du said that she had nowhere to go after the divorce, and the child was still in kindergarten and felt that it was not good to stop school so suddenly, so she rented this house. She probably thought I was worried that she would not be able to pay the honorarium, so she quickly told me that she was only living here temporarily, and that the house in her name had not yet been delivered. I nodded, if it's a rented house, then there are a lot of possibilities.
Ms. Du then told me that she had been thinking about it all night that night, in fact, she was most worried about her own child, but seeing that her daughter was not affected, and she was not sure whether the child she saw was a human or a ghost, she had to continue to live. Since that day, she has paid more attention to the sound outside the door, every day after the child comes home, if you want to go out to play, you also take a piece with you, and you don't go out after dinner at night, not only that, but she also began to lock the security door every night after her daughter returned to the house.
After that, they were safe for many days, but half a month ago, strange things began to happen frequently. She said that she would help her daughter put the scattered toys back into the toy box after letting her daughter sleep every night, but that day she felt thirsty in the middle of the night, and when she got up to drink water and went to the toilet, she found that her daughter's door was hidden and not closed, but her daughter fell asleep well. After helping her daughter close the door of the room, she went to the toilet, and when she came out, she reflected the light of the toilet, and she saw a daughter's toy in the center of the living room, and thought that she had obviously cleaned it up, and she was outside again. So I wondered if my daughter came out to get the toys by herself? But she quickly rejected this idea, and she knew that her daughter slept very soundly as soon as she fell asleep, and she had good habits since she was a child, and never got up in the middle of the night to play with toys, and because of this, she let the child sleep alone in the room. Just as she was wondering, she heard a voice from outside the door, "Ah! Then the light came into the house through the cat's eye.
Ms. Du said that she didn't look carefully at the specific time at that time, but at least it was two or three o'clock in the morning, and she had doubts before, but now she is even more sure that there is no possibility of children playing in the corridor in the middle of the night, let alone ghosts, even living people will think that children standing in the corridor in the middle of the night will be terrible. She was frightened and did not dare to come out, but soon the lights went out, and then she was shouted by the same voice, and so on and so on a dozen times, until the child's cries began to become more frequent, and had nothing to do with the lights, and she heard the constant cries coming from outside the door. So Ms. Du couldn't help it, although she knew that the thing outside the door of the road might be something she was afraid of, but she was more worried about her daughter being affected, and the voice was outside the security door of her house, which meant that if it was a ghost, it was coming to her home. She ran to the kitchen to pick up the broom, plucked up the courage to open the door, closed her eyes and slapped it on the top of her head earlier.
I hit many times in a row, but I felt like I didn't hit anything. She stopped, her eyes closed and she could still feel the faint light, she noticed that the light was out again, so she stomped her foot to turn it on, and then slowly opened her eyes, looking around, but she saw nothing, even the corner of the wall next to the fire hydrant where she had seen the strange child, it was empty, nothing.
The more Ms. Du thought about it, the more frightened she became, so she quickly closed the door, and that night she didn't sleep again, just turned on the light in the living room, faced the direction of the security door, and sat like this all night with a broom in her hand.
I asked Ms. Du, how old is your daughter? She said she was two months away from turning four. I've been exposed to children's ghosts many times before. Most of them are infant spirits, which is a helpless thing, who made our country a policy that prohibits condom advertisements on TV, but it is overwhelming with advertisements for abortion surgery. Usually the end of the infant soul is not very good, because I am not a Buddhist, and there is no way to make merit for these children and then dedicate them. So in my hands, usually in addition to the end of the infant spirit, in addition to breaking up, it is very rare to be able to send it away, and after they are abandoned by their biological parents once, they have to be sent by me, a strange uncle. Except for the infant spirits, most of the rest are ghost children. The so-called ghost child, is in the human form of the birth, after a period of growth, but at a very young age has died, belongs to the part of the child who died young, in many religious fields, it is believed that the child who died early is the cultivation of the adult in the previous life, so it is not enough to grow up, so this part of the child is often no way to give birth, can only wander away, lucky to meet the kind-hearted monk Taoist to take it away, chanting the Buddha to help him practice, bad luck is the lonely soul and wild ghost. In this case, as Ms. Du said, it is obvious that the child outside the door is able to scream to control the light, which means that it may have died about the same age as Ms. Du's daughter, and the playfulness proves that it belongs to this interest, and can only be a child.
Ms. Du went on to say that almost every day after that, she would hear the sound of the child shouting the lights from outside the house, and she sat in the living room staring at the security door like the first night, and sometimes the child's screams outside the door became louder and louder, and the frequency became faster and faster, so fast that she even felt that if the ghost was playing a prank, it was out of range, and she couldn't help it several times, standing at the door and scolding, and the night before yesterday, that is, the day before she found us, she encountered such a thing again, The torture for many days had already made her very tired and in a bad temper. That day, she thought that when she heard the cry again today, I would immediately open the door and beat around, whether it was a person or a ghost. So that night she moved the stool to the door of the security door and sat down, dozing off while guarding.
She said that it was probably two or three o'clock, when there was a cry outside the door, and she had made up her mind to open the door earlier, but at this time she began to hesitate. But soon the voice became loud and fast, so Ms. Du opened the door again, and as on the first night, she closed her eyes and there was a flurry of beatings, and after a while, she stopped, and gasped for breath. She opened her eyes, intending to see if she had hit anything, but found that the light had gone out, and just as she was about to stomp her foot to light it, a voice suddenly sounded close to her ear:
"Ahh
Then, the lights came on.
